He said initial probe showed that Indian mobile phone SIMs were being used to leak the question papers.

"All departments are on an alert. It has been pointed out that the SIMs being operated are Indian SIMs. Because of our relations with the neighbouring country, all agencies have been alerted," Dehar said.

The education minister said that it was alarming and the government had asked Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and counter-terrorism department to provide help.

According to some officials, Indian SIM cards are used in border district of Tharparkar and those mobile phone might have been used in leaking but it needed to be investigated.
